Cleaners and Wash Chemicals

Aqueous Process Cleaners

Houghton ABC Machine Cleaner - For cleaning aqueous systems - 19100

ABC Machine Cleaner is a carefully selected blend of detergents for cleaning water based metalworking fluids systems prior to refill with fresh fluid. Its powerful action loosens oil, dirt, fines and microbial slimes for ease of removal during cleaning. ABC Machine Cleaner is an essential part of fluid maintenance to maximise tank-life between clean outs and to comply with new HSE guidance for metalworking fluids.

Applications:

ABC Machine Cleaner is suitable for all water based metalworking fluid systems including soluble coolants, polymer quenchants, emulsifiable rolling oils, and wash chemicals.

Houghton Houghto-Clean 15S - Water-based systems cleaner - 19200

Houghto-Clean 15S is a cleaner for water-based systems such as machine tool coolant sumps. The product has been specially formulated without the use of phenol based emulsifiers to meet the latest environmental requirements. Houghto-Clean 15S has powerful detergent properties to loosen microbial slimes, emulsify oil residues and suspend debris. The product allows much more effective cleaning of systems and extends fluid life.

Applications:

Houghto-Clean 15S should be added at a concentration of 2% to the system, 24 - 48 hours before emptying. During this time, coolant should be in full circulation and production can continue unaffected. Houghto-Clean 15S allows effective cleaning without the loss of valuable production time.

Solvent Cleaners

Houghto-Clean 510 is an effective hydrocarbon solvent cleaner which can be used to replace ozone depleting solvents in cold immersion and ultrasonic cleaning applications. The formula is low odour and pleasant to use.

Houghton Houghto-Clean 400 - Emulsifiable solvent cleaner - 60400

Houghto-Clean 400 is a semi-aqueous solvent cleaner offering both solvency and detergency to clean components. A highly effective surfactant package is combined with refined solvents to give a product that forms a stable emulsion with excellent cleaning characteristics.

Application:

Emulsions of Houghto-Clean 400 can be used to remove a wide range oils and dirt. Diluted with water it is effective in both soak tank and low pressure spray wash applications. The use of elevated temperature (up to 65ºC) will assist the removal of heavy oils.

Houghto-Clean 400 can also be used neat as a cold cleaning solvent to remove heavy residues, greases and oxidised oils. This can be rinsed off using water or an emulsion of Houghto-Clean 400.

Maintenance Cleaners

Houghton Houghto-Clean 123 - Biologically Active Cleaner - 60123

Houghto-Clean 123 is a powerful combination of detergents and hydrocarbon degrading microbes.

Applications:

Houghto-Clean 123 has been formulated for usage in drum and bench top parts washers and can also be used for manual hard surface cleaning applications. Hydrocarbon oils and similar organic materials are gradually degraded by the micro organisms within the cleaning solution maintaining the solution cleanliness for consistent levels of cleaning and allowing for easier and less costly disposal of the used cleaning solution. Houghto-Clean 123 is compatible with ferrrous, non-ferrous metals, plastics, composites and has tested compatibility with common aerospace alloys.
